My car

I bought this car with 16k miles 2 yrs ago and have now almost 70k on the clock and no major problems so far. Sometimes the car looses power when trying to move away quickly from road junctions and I have had it checked numerous times by the dealership and they can't sort it. Also the dealership made a mess of the ash tray when they mended a button on the dash. Interior trim is a little shabby but all in all the car looks good, drives well and returns up to 60mpg.

My car

I owned this car for 1 year and 4 months, it was smooth to drive, really cool gagdets, nice comfy leathers, big armrest!
Bad news for me was when I came to sell it I lost £4,000 in little over a year. Reasons why i sold are,
1.Expensive to repair (main dealers)
2.Expensive to tax
3.Increased petrol prices
4.Started to get electrical problems

My car

I've had my Pug 407 HDI 2.0ltr for just on two months and am extatic with my choice so far! Having read some of the negative reviews already posted, I can only say, "Wow guys, you really got the short end of the stick didn't you?!" As with the other people who have posted good reviews, mine has worked like a charm. Never mind the fact that i've probably put a moz on myself now??!!

Seriously though, the fuel economy, ride comfort, performance, reliabiliy etc have been great. I've also found a great mechanic who specializes in Pugs, so I don't have to rely on what the dealer tells me.........maybe a thought for those of you who have had problems....a better education in how to treat our fair peruvian friends may be the key to a lasting relationship with these cars.

Afterall, no one ever said these cars weren't without their quirks...as many english, italian, some german cars have their own quirks. It's all in the way you treat them I find.

I have just come out of a Land Rover Discovery V8. A fantastic car in every way, I loved it!!!! However, you do need a sense of humour to own one of those! Case in point, the alarm...don't get me started.....

So, in all, a great car, I love it........
